Eleanor's POVI slowly opened my eyes, expecting to see the familiar surroundings of my bedroom. But to my shock, I found myself in a completely different place. Panic surged through my veins, and my heart raced in my chest.Fear gripped me as I looked at my new surroundings. The unfamiliar sights and sounds overwhelmed my senses, leaving me feeling disoriented and vulnerable. Tears welled up in my eyes, and I couldn't hold back the sobs that escaped my trembling lips.My heartbeat increased as the memories of what happened earlier slowly began to creep in, I remember a strange man attacking me in the garden but I can't remember what happened after that.Everything felt so wrong, so foreign. I longed to be back in the comfort of my own home, to see my baby, But instead, I found myself in this strange and unsettling place, with no idea how I got here.The fear and confusion consumed me, making it difficult to think clearly. I tried to free myself from the rope which was tied around my
King Derek's POVI woke up to the gentle breeze that blew into the room through the window. I exhaled heavily as I yawned, stretching out my arms. I blinked my eyes intermittently as I tried to sit up on the bed. I sat there momentarily, trying to muster up the strength to get up from bed. I stood from the bed gently. I stood there momentarily before a thought struck my mind.My mind wandered off to Eli. I smiled as her name popped up in my head. I made up my mind to go and check on her. I walked out of the room slowly, holding my hands behind me. In no time, I was standing in front of her room. I walked into her room, but she was not there on her bed. I looked around the room, but I could not find her but saw her baby in his crib. Where had she gone to in this early hour of the morning, leaving her baby behind? Maybe she is in the bathroom, I thought. I walked quietly to the crib where the baby was lying. He seemed to have just woken up from sleep. I picked him up gently and held hi
Eleanor's POVI screamed loudly as I used my palms to cover my ears, falling to the floor slowly. I closed my eyes tightly as I winced in pain. “Stop!” I yelled as I experienced some flashes of my lost memories in my head. I held my head tightly as I felt intense pain. It felt as if a nail was being hammered into my head. I opened my eyes immediately and my vision was a blur. I suddenly started to remember things from my past, but they were unclear. I breathed faster as my heart pounded harder. I felt my chest getting tighter as I gasped for breath. I could hear Ethan still talking, but everything faded into the background. The only sound I could hear was my heart beating faster as I sat on the ground.It was all mixed up in my head, as I could not put everything together. It was like a piecewise puzzle in my head. Tears filled my eyes as the memories came rushing in. I closed my eyes and everything began to play like a movie. I remembered every bit of my past. How everything happen
King Derek's POVI stood in front of Ethan's pack house, boiling in anger, knowing that he was the one who came to take Eli away from my palace. I wasted no time as I burst open his door immediately with my bare hands and walked inside. His guards tried to stop me, but a punch on their faces was enough to keep them on the ground and send fear into the bodies of the remaining guards who had the intention of stopping me. I stood midway, tilting my head to look around the house so that I could get a possible direction. I breathed heavily, and my heart raced faster. My hands were clenched into a fist and my teeth clenched tightly, making my jaw chiseled and well-defined. I suddenly caught the scent of Eli, and I slowly walked in the direction of the scent. I walked through the passage and finally stopped in front of a door. I could feel the attraction in the room as the scent became stronger. I was extremely furious, and I would rather not knock on the door. I hit the door hard with my
Eleanor's POVI slowly sat there on the bed with my baby in my arms as I went deep into my thoughts. The sounds of everything around me slowly went into the background and replaced the sound of my heart beating and my breath racing. Different thoughts ran through my mind as I sat there. I was suddenly jolted from my reverie as my baby began to cry. I patted him gently on his back in an attempt to keep him quiet. But it seemed each time I tried, he only increased the intensity of his cry. I stared at him for a moment while he was crying, and my mind wandered off immediately to what Derek told me a few days ago, where he asked me to keep the baby shut by giving him breast milk. I quickly brought out my breast and placed it in his mouth, and he began to suckle. He became quiet as he continually sucked. My mind soon wandered off to the incident that had earlier happened. I was unsure of what to believe at this point. Derek kidnapped me and my baby, but he treated us right. I even ended
King Derek's POVI sat on my bed as so many thoughts raced through my mind, I couldn't stop thinking about everything that had been happening, it was as if my head was about to explode, everything was just too much for me to bear.The way those memories flooded back, left me feeling overwhelmed and confused. I couldn't help but wonder how in the world I lost my memory in the first place. It's like waking up from a dream, but instead of feeling refreshed, I'm left with a sense of disorientation. I raise my head upright, trying to make sense of everything. It's as if I've been living in a haze, disconnected from my reality.My mind kept racing from one thought to another unable to keep up, what happened to me was so bad that made me forget Eleanor, the only woman I have ever loved, I even had a child with her and I don't remember, I kept asking myself the same questions over and over.My thoughts swayed from Ekeanor to the evil things I did when I lost my memory, a wave of sadness crash
Ethan's POV"Sooner or later she will be mine completely," I said to myself smiling after Eleanor had refused for me to touch her, I knew I had to be patient, so she could believe that I had her best interest in mind.I sat on my chair replaying how my plan worked out perfectly a surge of pride coursed through my veins. The satisfaction of manipulating Eleanor, into believing King Derek killed her parents and took her memories. I couldn't help but feel a sense of triumph, knowing that I had finally gained the upper hand against King Derek.I relish in the knowledge that my cunning tactics have succeeded in sowing seeds of doubt and mistrust in the mind of Eleanor, and I feel proud of the power I hold over King Derek, I was glad I didn't have to be involved with the witch, I did everything on my own It was a heady feeling, knowing that I am the puppet master, pulling the strings that shape their lives.Thoughts of vengeance swirl in my mind, as I envision the downfall of King Derek, t
Eleanor's POVI pat my baby gently on the back, as I pace around the room, he has been crying for some time now, so I am trying to put him to sleep. Despite being back with Ethan, a part of me couldn't shake off the restlessness and uncertainty that clouded my mind. My heart raced inside my chest, a constant reminder of the unease that had settled within me. It was as if an invisible weight pressed down on my shoulders, making it hard to breathe.Every interaction with Ethan was tinged with a sense of caution, his body language and the way he spoke to me left a lingering doubt that gnawed at the edges of my consciousness. I found myself questioning his every word, analyzing his every action, searching for signs of safety or danger.So many thoughts raced through my mind as I slowly placed my sleeping baby on the bed. There were times when Ethan's gaze would linger a little too long, his words carrying an undertone that sent my heart into a frenzy. I found myself questioning his inten
Eleanor's POVI breathed in and out inhaling the sweet unique air of the human world, I never knew how much I missed being here until now."We are almost there, I am so excited," I said happily to King Derek, as we drove into Zora's neighborhood, my heart raced with anticipation King Derek had granted my wish of going to the human world to Zora, I was so excited and I have anticipating this day for a very long time, I miss Zora so much and I can't wait to hold her in my arms. I know she might have been looking everywhere for me and my baby and she would be so happy to know that we are fine."We are going to see Aunty Zora soon," I said to my baby whose attention was on his feeders, I have finally stopped him from breastfeeding and decided to start giving him baby food, I can't have two people sucking my breast. "Here we are, remember Zora doesn't have to know anything out of the ordinary for her" kind Derek reminded me, he had told me not to tell Zora about our world to protect her
Eleanor's POV"Don't cry, little baby, mummy is here," I said to my son, who was crying loudly, I don't know why he was crying because I had fed him already. I guess he misses his father. "Do you want to see Dada?" I asked smiling, he paused and looked at me for a while before he continued.As I sat there, gently patting my son's back, a wave of happiness washed over me. Weeks had passed since King Derek's victorious battle against Ethan, and the memory still filled my heart with pride and gratitude.I looked down at my son, his tiny fingers wrapped around mine, and couldn't help but smile. He was a testament to the strength and love that King Derek and I shared. His presence was a constant reminder of the triumph we had achieved together. Who would have thought I would be this problem-free? All my life I have been facing problems upon problems, from the death of my parent to losing my memory to the torture I faced at the hands of Ethan, and finally those problems are long gone all t
King Derek's POVMy body was boiling with anger as I heard Ethan say those words, I knew there was no way he would let Eleanor and my baby go scot-free, but I was just engaging in the conversation to buy time.Ethan thought he had the upper hand now, but what he didn't know was that I was expecting his attack on my pack, and I was prepared for him."Ethan there is no way I am going to let you harm my son, I will die before I would let that happen" I yelled back at him angrily."And what are you going to do about King Derek, it's already too much. I have your pack surrounded and my men are already taking your people hostage" he replied proudly, with a smile on his face.Just then I saw Lucas my beta behind him, I kept my cool and continued to beg him so he wouldn't notice, but suddenly his expression changed, I think he felt a figure behind him but as soon as he was about to turn my beta hit him of the neck with his sword and he fell on the floor releasing his grip on Eleanor.Eleanor

Ethan’s POVAs I stormed towards Eleanor's cage angrily, my anger intensified, it was like a storm brewing inside me. I felt like my blood was boiling, and my heart was pounding in my chest. I could feel the heat rising, and my muscles tensing up with every passing second.My fists clenched tightly, with my knuckles turning white as I struggled to contain the overwhelming fury that was about to consume me. It was like a volcano ready to erupt, threatening to unleash my destructive power.I got to her cage and flung the door open violently, she was coiled up in the cage shaking, which made me furious. Every little thing seemed to fuel my anger, making it grow stronger and more uncontrollable. My mind was filled with thoughts of frustration and resentment towards Eleanor, and it felt like a storm cloud was hovering above me, ready to burst with thunder and lightning.I dragged her by her hair and pulled her out of the cage. The only thought in my head was to kill Eleanor, to strangle th
Ethan's POV"Ethan please let me go!" Eleanor yelled trying to break free of my hold on her."Shut up,!" I yelled as I gave her a very dirty slap, she fell to the ground and I warned her. "Don't test my patience, Eleanor, I am not in a good mood and I will take that aggression out on you," I said angrily as I dragged her by her hair and threw her into the cage violently.I feel so much anger and hatred towards Eleanor and the only reason why she is still alive is because I needed leverage against King Derek, I wish that maid hadn't escaped with her son, I would have killed him first. "My Lord, I brought devastating news," said the guard who had come in earlier, as much as I was not in the mood for chit-chat, I felt like I needed to listen to him to know what was happening at my pack."Speak then, or should I beg you first" I yelled rudely, trying to control my anger."King Derek attacked the pack and took a lot of hostages," he said avoiding my gaze completely."What!" As I heard the
Eleanor's POVI woke up suddenly, feeling hazy and dizzy at the same time. I held my head tightly and winced in response to the pain I felt. I laid down on the floor there, and I tried to sit up and rest my back against the wall. I sat against the wall, still holding my head tightly as the pain intensified. I took a deep breath as I rubbed my forehead slowly, wiping my face with my palm. My heart pounded harder as my breath raced faster. My heart felt like it was about to jump out of my chest.Something was unusual. There was no noise from the pack house. No noise from maids doing their activities and also the palace workers going about too. I suddenly opened my eyes, looking around the room. It felt like my eyes were shrouded with a dark cloud, but they became familiar with the environment after a moment. I looked around in shock to find out I was in a new cell. How did I get here? I asked in my thoughts. I managed to stand up from where I sat, going toward the door slowly. I banged
King Derek's POV I gave Lucas a straight stare as I heard what he said. I quickly put on my clothes, and we dashed out of the room, leaving my baby in his crib as he was still sleeping. Lucas stopped abruptly, clearing his throat as he exhaled deeply.“What about the baby?” He asked as he wore a concerned look on his face. “The maid will take care of him,” I replied calmly as I tilted my head to look at him, and we continued to walk in the direction of the yard. In no time, we were standing in the yard where the whole army was gathered with their weapons all set. They all bowed down in unison to greet me and I gestured, tilting my head to see all of them. I turned to Lucas, giving him a brief stare, gesturing to him to bring his ears.“What's the plan?” I whispered lowly into his ears. I leaned backward, looking directly into his eyes. He heaved a sigh as he pointed to the car that we should hop on the car. We walked to the car and the warriors chanted war songs. It reminded me of t
King Derek's POV“I…I.” She stuttered as her breath was shaky, pointing towards the room. I turned to look at the back, turning back to look at her, exhaling heavily.“You what?” I asked curiously as I looked puzzled. Lucas walked slowly towards the door, and the maid bowed as he approached. She was trembling obviously, as her hands were shaky when she pointed into the room again. “The baby.” She managed to say as she pointed again. I turned to look in the direction of his crib. He seemed to be sleeping peacefully. “What happened to him?” Lucas asked curiously as he looked at the maid with a straight face, making me turn towards her. I walked towards the baby to check on him as I did not understand what the maid was saying there. He was still sleeping as I tapped him gently. I heaved a sigh as I tilted my head to look towards the door. “She has not fed him tonight,” Lucas said aloud, and I chuckled dryly. She walked into the room swiftly in our direction, checking on the baby. I im
